DepEd Mid-Year Review Form (MRF) SY 2025-2026

The DepEd Mid-Year Review Form (MRF) is an internal performance monitoring and developmental tool used by the Department of Education (DepEd) to assess an employee’s work progress halfway through the performance cycle. It is aligned with DepEd’s Results-Based Performance Management System (RPMS) and supports continuous performance improvement among teaching and non-teaching personnel.

Purpose of the MRF

• The primary objective of the MRF is formative assessment, not punishment. It is intended to:
• Review accomplishments against approved targets and performance indicators.
• Identify gaps, constraints, and emerging issues early in the year.
• Provide timely feedback from supervisors to employees.
• Agree on corrective actions, adjustments, or support needed for the remaining period.

The form is usually completed jointly by the ratee (employee) and the rater (immediate supervisor) to ensure shared understanding of performance status.

Key Contents of the MRF

• While formats may vary slightly by office or position, the MRF typically includes:
• Committed targets or deliverables based on the approved OPCRF/IPCRF
• Actual accomplishments for the mid-year period
• Assessment of progress (on track, delayed, or unmet)
• Challenges and reasons for variances
• Agreed interventions, such as coaching, mentoring, training, or workload adjustments
• Remarks and signatures of both ratee and rater

Importance of the MRF

1. Performance course correction
   The MRF allows employees to adjust strategies before the year ends, increasing the likelihood of meeting targets.

2. Early identification of support needs
   Supervisors can provide timely technical assistance, capacity-building, or resource support based on documented needs.

3. Basis for fair year-end evaluation
   Mid-year documentation strengthens the objectivity of the final performance rating by showing consistent monitoring.

4. Professional development alignment
   Gaps identified in the MRF inform individual development plans (IDPs) and office-level training programs.

5. Accountability and transparency
   The form creates a clear, written record of expectations, progress, and agreed actions for both parties.

Relationship to Other DepEd Forms

• The MRF does not replace the OPCRF or IPCRF. Instead, it:
• Serves as a checkpoint within the performance cycle
• Supports accurate and evidence-based year-end performance appraisal
  
• Reinforces continuous improvement rather than end-of-year surprises

In summary, the DepEd Mid-Year Review Form is a critical management and developmental instrument. It helps ensure that performance expectations remain realistic, supported, and aligned with DepEd’s mandate, while giving employees a fair opportunity to improve and succeed before final evaluation.
